Social Media
I have incorporated social media throughout my magazine to attract a wider audiece as social media plays such a large part in todays magazine industry, with people pursading readers to buy magazines through tweets, facebook pages being set up for certain magazines so the readers dont miss a single update and actual paper copies of magazines being transformed to online digital versions.
This is a tweet from my professional twitter account. I linked the Moda Magazine website to a tweet, which was about telling people to visit the offical Moda magazine website. I decided to do this tweet as I wanted to conect social media with my magazine as the people in my target audience are people who are big social media users. They would have accounts on almost every popular social website like Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Tumblr ect.
This tweet shows the readers have the chance to visit the new and improved Moda magazine. The tweet was designed to attract the readers through glorifying a new updated version. The link of the website was also added to the tweet to make the reader view the new website easier.
This tweet was to promote a recent article wrote for Moda, I linked a photo about the article (size 0) to the tweet to attract a wider audience as the use of a photo is more visually exciting. I also attracted the audience through starting the tweet with a question 'for or against size 0?' this excites the reader as they feel they are directly being asked this question.
Another tweet I did to promote Moda Magazine was offering the chance for a reader to become the next covergirl. This tweet essentially draws more readers as its getting the readers involved in becoming apart of the magazine. It also gets the website more popularity as to have the chance to become Modas next covergirl you have to sign up on the website, which attracts popularity for the twitter account and website.
The use of social media when promoting magazines, website ect is important as its becoming such a popular thing that website, magazines ect which don't use social media have a disadvantge as social media connects the public to almost everything and makes it so much easier to do things, for example more magazines having a digital and online version so people don't always have to buy paper versions.
